• Samantha Solis I graduated from USD in 2012 with a B.A. in Psychology. I worked for two years at a Financial Investment Firm saving up money for graduate school. I started graduate school at Boston University in 2014. I graduated from BU in 2016 with a Masters of Education in Counseling Psychology with a concentration in Sport Psychology. During my time at BU I completed a clinical internship at the Eating Disorder Center of Boston. I also completed my sport psychology internship hours working with collegiate level athletes. My clinical internship provided me with hours to obtain my LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) status with the Department of Health. My sport psychology internship provided hours toward my CMPC (Certified Mental Performance Consultant) certification. I obtained my CMPC status through the Association for Applied Sport Psychology. I spent 2 years working in a clinical mental health setting to obtain full LMHC licensure in the state of Washington with the goal of starting my own private practice. I worked with a variety of populations and I spent time doing group therapy for children using sport as a way to teach coping skills, increase social skills, and to increase confidence and self-esteem. I took the exam to become CMPC certified in order to work with athletes at an individual and team level. I will be opening my private practice in February 2020. I will be offering both clinical and sport performance services. read more
